Hi

Ideas please for a present for my DD1s 19th. She's only asked for money and new underwear, which doesn't seem very exciting.

Thanks

    I bought my 19yr old DD a tiffany bracelet for her birthday HTH.

    I'd give her what she asked for as your choice and her choice of present may be very different!

    I'm 17, and my mum bought me this bracelet called a Pandora charm bracelet. I love it and loads of my friends have got them now after seeing mine :)

    Thanks - I've looked at some of these online and they are beautiful. Do you know where the best place is to get one? My daughter really likes gold (don't we all!) but this would be soooooooo expensive!

    Underwear isn't exciting?


    I'm sure I could find her some exciting underwear! :cheesy:



    Seriously though, for my sister's 19th my parents bought her nothing special, just what she wanted.

    If you get the underwear from La Senza they will giftwrap it for you and it makes it really special. I got pyjamas from there for my birthday and they wrapped them so beautifully it made me feel like I was being pampered.:T

    Does anyone know of somewhere to get these from at a reasonable price? I've looked at a number of websites and the bracelets with gold and silver beads are soooooooo expensive but they would make a wonderful present.

    Thanks

    When I was 19 I would have loved a pamper gift ie facial, nails etc. Are there any concerts she would like tickets for?
    Good luck with whatever you decide to get.
